Deano Jalapeno Burger - Fire Day Friday

Posted by

Don't you just love those Durkee Fried Onions? Yeah, those ones that you put on top of green bean casserole. Yes, the ones you guiltily snack on when you think no one is looking.

Imagine the same thing but instead of onions, imagine it made out of thin sliced jalapenos. I received a fiery care package from my friends at Hot Sauce Daily (a blog about all things hot and spicy) and one of the items was a mysterious gold foil package of Deano's Jalapenos brand Jalapeno Chips.

One taste and Alexis said they were like super spicy fried onions. I loved them too and immediately knew I had to use them as a burger topping. To offset the heat, I made a ranch dressing with cilantro and avocado spread to help cool it off.

Place the diced avocado and half of the dressing mixture in a blender or food processor and blend until the avocado is broken down, about 30 seconds. Fold this batch back into the rest of the dressing.

Mix together the beef and burger seasoning. Divide into 6 third pound portions and form into 5" patties.

Preheat a charcoal grill to 450f.

Grill the burgers for 4 minutes. Flip and grill another 4 minutes. Top with the cheese slices in the last minute. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes.

Top bun bottoms with shredded lettuce, a cheese burger, a handful of jalapeno chips and slather the but top with a healthy bit of the ranch dip.
